$1,700 made me the proud owner of a 1969 Chrysler Newport today. 90,000 miles, repainted in 2002, no rust, runs and drives flawlessly and powered by a healthy big-block 383. I LOVE IT

ACTUAL OFFER: If you live in Toronto, come to my house and I'll give you a ride in it. I'll also let you drive it if you're a chill dude.

Based on your avatar, I was expecting a mint Shocker or Sanchez! Nice purchase, nonetheless.

After my "go fast" phase I'd love to pick up a big old car.

Looks like a fun cruiser. Just need a posi for some big block burnouts.

Burbles like an old inboard speedboat. And rips the tires from a stop!

Dun Dun DUNNNN .

Remember the mileage from your other ride? Yeah. Fond memories.

Looking pretty sweet! So what's first? Blower or new paint? =P

paint is actually from 2002 and it's in great shape. wash, water pump, pwr steering pump, a few gaskets here and there and then she's good to go!

It's at Engineered Automotive, first Sunday of every month apparently. I just found out about it this spring, but have been working so I missed the first two.

Next on is Sunday July 6th, 8am.

Boss.

I've recently discovered the joys of driving a big, floaty car . You feel like a badass pretty much the whole time you're driving it.

Looking forward to some pics :)

Seriously great price. Who doesn't love Fuselage Chryslers? The first years are the best looking too, sleek and clean and carries its mass very well.

i would smoke out as many jalops as the car would fit, but alas, I live in Texas...

Congrats on the car though! It looks so boss

(Also, how do I post an article on oppo? Do I need special permissions?)

Well done! I've got a thing for Mopars, we've got B-Bodies, but, I have a friend that has your cars twin, in New Yorker fashion. Also has a 68 Newport that caught fire on us one day. But that's a story for another day.

Enjoy!

Thanks! The fuselage styling is cool and it looks about 10 years newer than it actually is

Thanks! You know what I'll be driving so see you there!

Amazing. I got your message btw. Phone was off because battery at 0%. Sadly, since it's a 5 hour drive I can;t make it today (fuck you work) but I'll let you know when I can come by hopefully sometime in July. This thing is sweet beyond belief. I am not worthy.

Don't sweat it. I'll be going to a cars and coffee thing on July 6th if you want to meet up then.

Here's some gas money. Should be enough there to get you home from the gas station.

For sure. I'll have my camera and be taking pictures the whole time too.

congrats on the next car purchase! That thing looks like it'd be a blast to cruise in. And more than enough room for extra activities.

Was bummed of course about the swift. But I think mine is headed that way as well. Although I'm currently ˝ ass looking for a replacement of same 3/5 & hatch. I was a few hours late to respond to a swift Gti for $1300.

If you were closer I'd buy some parts, but not quite sure my replacement will be same.

I immediately imagined a good 12-15 internet-weird looking dudes crammed into that beast of a car and it was glorious.

Good job. I loved my 67 383 Newport I had last summer. So smooth.

Very impressive! What you gonna call it, "HMCS" what? And when are the Naval aviators gonna fly in the jets you launch off of its deck?
